Rous Sareysothea was Cambodia's most popular female vocalist during the 60's and 70's. Her unique voice and talent remains incomparable. Unfortunately, when the Khmer rouge took over the country in 1975, most artists, musicians, and intellectuals were executed including Rous Sareysothea. A majority of her work did not survive the Khmer rouge as they destroyed all types of entertainment. A short film titled "The Golden Voice" depicts the last days of her life even though no one really knows how she perished. If you enjoy her songs don't forget to check out Dengue Fever, an American band that covers some of her works but also writes their own songs.
Recorded:
live on March 16, 2003 at the Beta Lounge in San Francisco
In
1967, San Francisco’s Fifty
Foot Hose were certainly one of the innovators of a sound that
took Psychedelia to new heights and was captured on the band’s one
record, Cauldron. They are a totally unique hybrid—on one
hand pulsating bay area acid rock, on the other, fractured electronic
freakery, becoming one whole cohesive being. The sci-fi-ish video
game-like artwork hinted at the sounds within, as did the Limelight
label’s pedigree for truly progressive sounds. Band leader, Cork
Marcheschi, used homemade electronic devices to create crude and
experimental soundscapes and instrumental compositions that were
sprinkled throughout the album.
Often starting shows with a
swelling rumble that exploded into the first song, they soon
developed a rabid following on the SF scene, though there was the
occasional totally wrong gig, like when a very-pregnant Nancy had to
perform at a Catholic Girls’ school! Still, the group wowed the
crowds, performing with greats like Chuck
Berry and Fairport
Convention.
